Creating the Culture of Christ in Madison, Wisconsin
At New Culture Church…
We're all about REAL relationships.
Real with GOD. Real with OURSELVES. Real with EACH OTHER.
YOU ARE WELCOME HERE, regardless of age, gender, race, or background.
Whether you are skeptical and unsure or have known Jesus your entire life...YOU BELONG HERE.
If you are questioning God, you're in the RIGHT place. This is how we learn and grow together.
As a church, we WORSHIP a God who is passionate about HUMANKIND.
We live to follow the example Jesus set here on Earth by mirroring how He lived His life and INVITING people into that community.
Our community is a place where you are FAMILY.
Weekly/Monthly
KEEP THE SABBATH
Keep the Sabbath - aim for 24 hours and modify if needed. If you cannot take an entire day off, find extended times throughout your week to rest. Take time to stop work and enter into rest. Do what brings you life. Spend time with people you love. Spend time with God.
FASTING
Fast- starve your flesh, and feed your spirit. Go without food for an extended period. This could be one meal or multiple meals, if you are physically able, fast food. As your body feels the hunger, it will remind us of our hunger for God to fill us.
WORSHIP ON SUNDAY
Gather in person every Sunday as we worship together in the presence of God. Make this an essential part of your weekly rhythm.
DEVOTE YOURSELF TO COMMUNITY
Attend a community regularly. Commit to showing up and being present with one another. If you cannot attend a Community, connect with another believer to share about your weeks and pray for one another.
CONTRIBUTE TO YOUR COMMUNITY To contribute means to add value. Contribute to your church community and your local community. You can do this by joining a New Culture team and looking for ways to be present with neighbors and coworkers
SEEK RENEWAL FOR OUR CITY
Pray for renewal, and bring renewal through contributing to our city. Volunteer at local organizations and participate in service projects and donation drives. Use the prayer guide from our pray297 campaign to pray for your neighborhood regularly.
rule of life
Daily
START THE DAY IN PRAYER AND SCRIPTURE
Begin your day by making space to listen for the voice of God through listening, prayer, and Scripture. Make it the first thing you do before anything digital, like social media, the news, or television. It can be 5 minutes or 50 minutes. The quantity of time is less important than the quality of time. The goal here is to commune with the living God.
TAKE BREAKS THROUGHOUT THE DAY
Step outside for a moment, exercise, walk through your neighborhood, or step away from your workstation to pause. Give your body and mind space to breathe as you enjoy God’s good creation. Journal, pray or sit in silence. Use your commute or walk to class to listen and be with Jesus.
END THE DAY IN EXAMINE & GRATITUDE
Recap your day with God. Pay attention to your feelings and emotions. Ask God to show you where He was in the midst of it and anything He is inviting you into. Draw your attention to the things for which you are grateful. Thank Him for every blessing, whether small or big, obvious or hidden.
WHY NEW CULTURE?
Culture is all about patterns, customs, and beliefs. We chose this name because culture is something everyone is influenced by but also influences themselves, and we believe that our mission is to create the culture of Christ and to make Him known in our circles of influence. Our community is a place where you are family. No matter your age or life story, YOU BELONG HERE, and we strive for all to feel welcomed, comfortable and loved as we learn more about Jesus together.
How did new culture begin?
New Culture Church was founded in 2018 by a group of friends with the vision to create the culture of Christ in Madison, Wisconsin, by facilitating a community that loves Jesus and makes Him known. We strive to follow the example Jesus set here on Earth by mirroring how he lived His life and inviting people into that community.
